Lipoprotein(a) test in Jumeirah, read by a doctor.
Lipoprotein(a) is one of the most ordered tests by our British-trained GPs for Jumeirah patients — and for good reason. Up to 20% of people have inherited high Lp(a) — and most never know. It should be measured at least once in adult life.
Why Jumeirah patients use us
Jumeirah's villa communities and family-focused residents are a perfect fit for what Aafiyah does best — continuity of care for the whole family. Rather than a different doctor every time someone in the household is unwell, our Jumeirah families work with one named GP who knows everyone's history, from the kids' vaccinations to a parent's blood pressure monitoring. Home visits, blood tests and IV therapy are all available across Jumeirah, and our Gold and Platinum memberships are particularly popular here for families wanting one less thing to think about when it comes to healthcare.
What Lipoprotein(a) actually tells us
A genetically determined LDL-like particle that powerfully promotes atherosclerosis, thrombosis and aortic valve disease.
A single measurement is enough — Lp(a) is genetically fixed. We focus on aggressively lowering ApoB to compensate.
High Lipoprotein(a)
>75 nmol/L is raised; >125 nmol/L is high cardiovascular risk.
Symptoms we ask about
- • Silent — only family history may flag it
Risk factors
- • Genetic — family history of early heart attack or stroke is the biggest clue
Conditions linked
- • Premature coronary disease
- • Stroke
- • Aortic stenosis
- • Peripheral arterial disease
Lifestyle that moves the needle
- • Lifestyle cannot change Lp(a) — focus on lowering other risk factors
Further tests we may run
- • ApoB
- • CAC score
- • Carotid ultrasound
- • Family cascade screening
Treatments where indicated
- • Aggressive LDL/ApoB lowering with statins, ezetimibe or PCSK9 inhibitors

Retest: Once in a lifetime is usually sufficient.
